in WII-Scientific service from other Scientific Departments where Flexible

Complementing Scheme is applicable, the entire service of that Scientist in the

same grade including in the parent department shall be counted towards

residency period. If an officer comes on deputation on a higher grade into the

service and later permanently absorbed in the same grade in the service, the

period spent on deputation shall be counted for residency period for

consideration for promotion to the next higher grade.

ICSAPinterview. This provision shall be applicable maximum twice in the career of

a Scientist.

7.4.2 Scientists shall be assessed for their promotion based on the 'Flexible

Complementary Scheme' that promotes the 'Merit Based Assessment and

Promotion'. The inter se merit rating as determined by Screening Committee

based on APARsand Interview scores, will form the basis of fixing the inter-se

(combined with any other leave), sanctioned by the competent authority, for

pursuing higher studies or receiving specialized training in professional and

technical subjects having a direct or close connection with the WII programs, on

resumption he/she may reckon notional seniority in the higher grade from the

Part 4: Integrity and Ethics

Please read the following guidelines before evaluating the sclenttst for integrity and ethics.

Guidelinesissued by the Government of India, Department of Personnel,regarding, Integrity", vide O.M. No. SljSj72-ESIT'

A'dated 20May 1972.

In every form of Confidential Report there should be a column regarding integrity to enable the Reporting Officer to make his

remarks on the integrity of the Government servant reported upon. The following guidelines should be followed in the manner of

making entries in the column relating to integrity:

a) Supervisory Officer should maintain a confidential diary in which instances which create suspicion about the integrity of a

subordinate should be noted from time to time and action to verify the truth of such suspicion should be taken expeditiously

by making confidential enquiries departmentally or by referring the matter to the Special Police Establishment. At the time of

recording the Annual Confidential Report this diary should be consulted and the material in it utilized for filling, in the column

relating to integrity. If the column is not filled on account of the unconfirmed nature of the suspicious, further action should

be taken in accordance with the following sub-paragraphs,

b) The column pertaining to integrity in the character Roll should be left blank and a separate secret note about the doubts

and suspicions regarding the Government servants integrity should be recorded simultaneously and followed up.

c) A copy of the secret note should be sent together with the Character Roll to the next superior officer who should ensure

that the follow up action is taken expeditiously.

d) If, as a result of the follow-up action, a Government servant is exonerated, his integrity should be certified and an entry

made in the Character Roll,

e) If suspicions regarding his integrity are confirmed, this fact can also be recorded and duly communicated to the

Government servantconcerned,

f) There may be cases in which after a secret report! note has been recorded expressing suspicion about a Government

servant's integrity, the inquiries that follow do not disclose sufflcrent material to remove the suspicion or to 'confirm' it. In

such a case the Government servant's conduct should be watched for a further period, and in the meantime, he/she should

as far as possible be kept away from positions in which there are opportunities for indulging in corrupt practices and

thereafter action taken as indicated at (pO)and (e) above,

g) There are occasions when a Reporting Officer cannot in fairness to himself and to the Government servant reported upon,

either certify integrity or make an adverse entry or even be in possession of any information which would enable him to

make a secret report to the Head of the Department. Such instances can occur when a Government servant is serving in a

remote station and the Reporting Officer has not had occasion to watch his work closely or when a Government servant has

worked under the Reporting Officer only for a brief period or has been on a long leave etc. In all such cases, the Reporting

Officer should make an entry in the integrity column to the effect that he has not watched the Government servant's work

for sufficient time to be able to make any definite remark or that he has heard nothing against the Government servant's

integrity, as the case may be. This would be a factual statement to which there can be no objection. But it is necessary that a

superior officer should make every effort to form a definite judgement about the integrity of those working under him, as

early as posstble, so that he may be able to make a positive statement.

Pleasecomment on the SCientist'sintegrity and standards of ethics:

Part 6. Scientist's Targets for Coming Year and Continual Growth

Plan

Scientists should be clear of the expectations against which they will be evaluated. This form provides the scientist and reportingofficers to set "stretch'-goals (ambitious but not impossible goals) for achievements for the coming year given the enablingmechanismsand availability of facilities/resources (available and accessibleboth within or outside the institute. Thecompletion ofthis form is in the best interest of the scientist, reporting, reviewing and accepting officers and objectivity of the evaluationexercise. This form would be updated at mid-year, to take into account of changed circumstances, if any.

(Pleasenote: While Part 1-5 of the form are to be submitted by Jaquary 31"of the year, Part 6 can be completed by February28'h. Thescientist can retain the original while the reporting officer can retain a photocopy for future reference.)
